First Update!)
— — —
The Ultimate Sovereigns looked at the two words "Blood Sword" on the stone tablet, and felt a chill run down their spines. They trembled all over, and no longer dared to speak out of turn.
"The Blood Sword hasn't stopped yet. I'm afraid its target is the city lord who ranks first in the First City," the Ultimate Sovereign who had exposed the truth earlier muttered to himself.
The rules of the ancient path of stars did not require one to reach the top of the First City to challenge the Second City. As long as one wished, even if one was last in the First City, one could challenge the people in the Second City directly.
For example, the city lord of the First City, Ultimate Sovereign Guye. As the person who ranked first in the First City, he naturally had the strength to challenge the Second City, or even the Third City.
However, rather than being last in the Second and Third City, he would rather be the city lord of the First City. That was more practical.
.....
On the streets of the First City, Jian Wushuang's expression was calm as he walked slowly.
The Wu Qi Divine Sword at his waist had yet to be unsheathed. To Jian Wushuang, these Ultimate Sovereigns were enough to crush him when he was still a fourth-stage Ultimate Sovereign, let alone now that he had broken through to the fifth-stage Ultimate Sovereign.
Not a single person could withstand a single blow from him.
Five hundred and tenth place.
Four hundred and thirty-eighth place.
Two hundred and nineteenth place …
Third place!!!
Jian Wushuang's speed did not slow down. In just half a day, he had risen to the third place!
At this moment, it was not only the people outside the city who had started to pay attention to Jian Wushuang's ranking. Even those who had been defeated by Jian Wushuang in the First City walked onto the streets and followed behind Jian Wushuang without a word.
In the beginning, there was only one person following behind Jian Wushuang.
As more and more people were defeated by Jian Wushuang, his ranking rose. Gradually, the number of people following Jian Wushuang grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
They followed Jian Wushuang from a distance, looking at Jian Wushuang's back with eyes full of awe.
Amongst them, there was no lack of people that looked down and ridiculed Jian Wushuang at the beginning when they saw his cultivation was only at the fifth level. But now, they'd been completely subdued by the strength Jian Wushuang revealed long ago, and they were reverent to him to the extreme.
Dong dong dong.
Under countless gazes, Jian Wushuang took down the wooden plaque of the second hall and knocked on the door of the second hall.
A moment later, a handsome young man in white walked out of the hall with a cold face and a curved blade in his hand.
First City, second place, Sir God Mu Chong!
In the First City of the Ancient Star Palace Road, the ranking on the stone stele changed frequently. After all, everyone was an ultimate Sovereign, and the stronger ones had long since surpassed the rest. Thus, the remaining ultimate Sovereigns were all about the same level of power, and the frequent changes in the ranking became a common occurrence.
However, in these hundreds and thousands of years, only two people's names had never changed from the beginning to the end!
These two people were ranked first and second respectively, Guye Sovereign and Sir God Mu Chong!
It was said that Sir God Mu Chong was extremely talented. From the start of his cultivation, he'd only spent a few chaos cycles to become an ultimate Sovereign. Perhaps he couldn't be compared to the Deities and Saints in the universe, but among the ordinary ultimate Sovereigns, he was considered one of the top geniuses!
In these thousands of years, ever since Sir God Mu Chong had stepped onto the Ancient Star Path, he'd firmly occupied the second place, and there'd never been a change!
"I wonder if Blood Sword will be able to maintain his previous valiant battle record and defeat Sir God Mu Chong."
"Sir God Mu Chong is the genius of the First City. Many people have been defeated by Sir God Mu Chong. Although Blood Sword's strength is impressive, it's still unknown if he's a match for Sir God Mu Chong."
"That's right. Sir God Mu Chong hasn't fought for close to a thousand years. No one knows how strong he is now."
Outside the city gate, many ultimate Sovereigns were looking at the stone tablet and discussing.
If someone had told them that a fifth-level Sovereign could rise from the last place to the third place in the First City, they would have scoffed and taken it as a joke.
However, now that the truth was right in front of them, they no longer looked down on Jian Wushuang.
However, Sir God Mu Chong had spent tens of thousands of years building his reputation, so they were more inclined to believe that Sir God Mu Chong would win.
At the same time, in the First City, there was also an intense discussion.
"Although Celestial Lord Mu Chong is very strong, Blood Sword's strength can't be underestimated either. You should know that Blood Sword has only used one finger all this time!"
"I bet that Blood Sword will win this battle!"
"Regardless, there's a good show to watch this time."
The people in the city were more aware of how terrifying Jian Wushuang was than the people outside the city!
Outsiders only saw that Jian Wushuang's ranking had soared, but they didn't see that Jian Wushuang had only used one finger all this time!
Amidst the discussion, Sir God Mu Chong walked out of the palace.
He ignored the discussion and sized up Jian Wushuang. He frowned and said, "A stage-five Sovereign?"
Jian Wushuang's expression was calm. He had heard this question more than a hundred times since he had entered the Ancient Star Road.
"Yes." Jian Wushuang nodded calmly.
"Interesting." Sir God Mu Chong smiled and continued, "It's not easy for a stage-five Sovereign to come this far. Even if your talent isn't as good as mine, it's not much worse. How about this, I'll give you a chance. Cultivate to the level of an ultimate Sovereign first, then fight with me."
After speaking, Sir God Mu Chong planned to return to the palace. Originally, he was quite excited that after thousands of years, someone had finally come in front of him and challenged him.
However, when he came out and saw that it was only a stage-five Sovereign, he felt that it was meaningless.
He had made a name for himself at a young age and had always been proud and arrogant. In his opinion, even if his opponent wasn't the crown prince of a divine nation or the divine child of a sacred land, he should at least be a top-tier ultimate Sovereign.
What was a mere Fifth Stage Sovereign to him?
Many ultimate Sovereigns shook their heads when they saw this.
"Sir God Mu Chong is still as arrogant as ever."
"Humph, looks like Sir God Mu Chong's arrogance has grown to the point of conceit after thousands of years."
"In my opinion, Blood Sword has come at the right time. It's time for the number one city on the Ancient Star Road to be reshuffled!"
They discussed in low voices.
Jian Wushuang squinted his eyes and a strange look appeared on his face.
